Class ClasspathLocationStrategy

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.configuration2.io.AbstractFileLocationStrategy

org.apache.commons.configuration2.io.ClasspathLocationStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

FileLocationStrategy

public class ClasspathLocationStrategy
extends AbstractFileLocationStrategy

A specialized FileLocationStrategy implementation which searches for files on the class path.

This strategy implementation ignores the URL and the base path components of the passed in FileLocator. It tries to look up the file name on both the class path and the system class path.

See AbstractFileLocationStrategy learn how to grant an deny URL schemes and hosts.

2.0

locate

public java.net.URL locate(FileSystem fileSystem,
                           FileLocator locator)

Tries to locate the specified file. The method also expects the FileSystem to be used. Note that the FileLocator object may also contain a FileSystem, but this is optional. The passed in FileSystem should be used, and callers must not pass a null reference for this argument. A concrete implementation has to evaluate the properties stored in the FileLocator object and try to match them to an existing file. If this can be done, a corresponding URL is returned. Otherwise, result is null. Implementations should not throw an exception (unless parameters are null) as there might be alternative strategies which can find the file in question. This implementation looks up the locator's file name as a resource on the class path.

Parameters:

fileSystem - the FileSystem to be used for this operation

locator - the object describing the file to be located

Returns:

a URL pointing to the referenced file if location was successful; null if the file could not be resolved
